Te Riverfront West District, from Beattie Park in the north to the southern edge of Davis Park in the south, reconnects the west side of Rockford with the riverfront. A series of parks linked by a continuous riverfront walkway provide pedestrian connections between several of the City Center’s key destinations. Te scenic riverfront walkway highlights the Rock River, Rockford’s greatest natural asset, and is popular with cyclists, joggers, and casual strollers. Urban waterfront parks are focal points for the District, and regularly bring the community together through regular events, such as little league games, chess tournaments, and tai chi in the park. A recently built outdoor venue at Davis Park hosts concerts, cultural shows, and other special events.
